This section was so helpful to me when searching for the "right" wheels that I thought I would add my choice to pay it back (and pay it forward) a bit to show and tell and possibly help someone else in their labored search too. It helps so much to see the wheels on the car!
Quick background = key considerations for me:
Love 5-spokers
Lightweight = not so important to me
Should have some lip
Multi-piece construction (it seems to read a bit more "upscale"- whatever that means = classy, I guess)
So, the winner was...
Kinesis K57/K58
17x7.5 (+32) on Bridgestone S-03 Pole positions (215/40)
18x10 (+48) on Bridgestone S-03 Pole positions (275/35)
Painted centers/polished lip
Car is a 93 (daily driver) on Eibachs and stock shocks
no rubbing // flush with fender flares
$2850 (wheels only) Please know that I got a bit of a deal on these as one of my previous SuperCups had irrepairable damage and no replacement was possible (discontinued) and Kinesis wanted to make a little good!
I love them!!! I had the opportunity and the pleasure of working quite closely with Nicole Stacy and her father Peter, the owner of Kinesis Motorsport, to get it all just right for me. They are truly great people that make a quality product and really care about what they do. A couple of fitment visits to their San Diego headquarters to calm my finicky expectations and I couldn't be happier! My wife just rolls her eyes and smiles (she rocks!!) and (dare I say it here) says "...they're just wheels dude."
